i thought a bit more about it and the only thing which makes sense to
me is exposing the stripe granularity for striped devices -
ie. something which says "if you go across this boundary, the
performance characteristics including latency might get affected",
which should fit nicely with the rest of topology information.
Martin, adding that shouldn't be difficult, right?
